I'm guessing you removed this to do the cutting. Does it just pop off with clips or is it screwed down. I have a Tekonsha Prodigy controller and it wouldn't fit in the stock cubby hole. I hadn't thought about cutting the inside of the pocket out. Good idea! I think the power pedal switch goes here if you have that option.
The cubby is held in with clips and one screw if i remember correctly. You have to take off the main plate under the steering wheel (2 screws on the bottom then pull) Then there is one screw on the right side of the cubby and a couple clips. Really easy install. I like things to be neat and clean looking so that seemed to be my best option. I'll be doing a couple other installs soon that I may post (radios, scanners, emergency lights, and a switch panel)

not sure which one he used, I had some of the little round mirrors that are concave to put on my outside mirrows that had the foam tape and they stayed on till I traded the truck off, over 5 years, I am going to try it myself if I ever get a day off!

Well, I tried the thin gray molding tape and it its always laying on the floor in the mornings. I tried the white foam tape today so we'll see if it holds any better.

Thanks for the update, wonder if velcro would work, I put some of that on a cabinet door that had a broke latch on my travel trailer and when I shut the door u could still see part of the tape, I went the relocate the tape and it was peeling the lamintion off the door !

I installed my Prodigy yesterday in the little cubby above the brake release like an earlier poster did. It was real easy to do, and it looks good. I had to trim the top off the cubby but that is no big deal. Seems like the ideal place to put it IMO.
